     The microcomputer resource center here on campus has a 3000UX hooked
into our local network.  I was there recently wanting do download some
large files quickly onto 3.5's for use on my non-unix machine.  The person
there seemed to indicate that the unix box doesn't/can't write Amiga-format
floppys.  Is this true?  If it isn't, how do you do it?  Do you have to be
in workbench?  Please help, the prospect of downloading 2M at 1200 baud
is frightening.
